Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.
